The first thing you need to do is find people who will listen to you, who have the patience and stability to let you talk out your problems without bombarding you with their own. I would look for both an older mentor and peers your age who are good listeners. Writing and music are great coping skills, but they're also solitary; you need friends who will support you.

Just having an extended conversation with someone who really cares will go a long way toward relieving anxiety and depression. That can happen to some extent on this forum, but you need to look to others who you can spend time with in person as well. Do you feel you have any good friends you can rely on?

You need to find some other doctor about this. Someone who is experienced with these kinds of things and will listen to you. And here's from a thread in here. You can check out the thread if you want.http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...ves-self-harm/ ----->

Alternatives to help you sort through your feelings:

Phone a friend and talk to them
Make a collage of how you feel
Negotiate with yourself
Identify what is hurting so bad that you need to express it in this way
Write your feelings in a diary
Free write (Write down whatever you're thinking at that moment, even if it doesn't make sense)
Make lists of everything such as blessings in your life
Make a notebook of song lyrics that you relate to
Call a hotline
Write a letter to someone telling them how you feel (but you don’t have to send it if you decide not to)
Start a grateful journal where everyday you write down three: good things that happened/ things that you accomplished/ are grateful for/ made you smile. Make sure the journal is strictly for positive things. Then when you feel down you can go back and look at it.
